Hey Guys,

1. How long before OATH date confirmation on tracker do we receive Oath letter through email?

2. Are there any chances of OATH date getting updated?

Any Experts, please advice.

IRCC/Passport Canada people have been very nice to me. I appreciate their effort. My advice is to not lose hope. I know it’s very frustrating — I probably checked the tracker several times a day and it drove me nuts. Doing that and being angry was probably not healthy for my mental state. Just know you have every right to feel frustrated (as I did) but keep knocking on doors. Eventually, things will run. Keep emailing your MPs even though it seems useless. They have to know what you’re going through.

I wish all of you the best & I hope things go smoothly with your application.

In my case Test is the only Completed.

I think they open one file and mark one section as completed and then put that file on hold for 5-6 months and then after 5-6 months they think now it’s time to complete another section. They r testing our patient

Hi All
Kindly advise for the following. I am still waiting for the ceremony invitation for my family and me. Next month my son will move to another province to join his university for the first year. So my question is, if I received my ceremony invitation after he left, can he attend the ceremony online with us by using the same invitation email or what?
